FTDI header?

I have the BigTime Watch Kit and it says that "An FTDI header is broken out to the side of the board". I do see the 6 connectors for it, but I can't seem to find directions on how to actually hook it up to a FTDI cable?

Also I see the source code for the loader and I seem to remember seeing some IDE that makes it pretty trivial to build the code and upload it to Audrion via a USB to FTDI cable, but would appreciate a link to reasonably good getting started page to make it smooth.
I feel silly asking all the noob questions but I really don't have much time and need to get this hooked up while i have the momentum of kid interested in hacking on this :/
